I wanna consult the community what should I do, with my situation with my computer.

I'm an 18 guy looking for work, my parents bought me an Intel i7 4790k and 8 go hyperx ram, and a Asia z97 pro motherboard, I already had an 800 (generic) psu, that I think do not deliver 800 watts , and I already had a chassis (a horrible one) and a had with 500 gb, I have not gpu.

So I'm looking for work and I wanna ask you guys. With the money that I will get, what parts should I buy and what models and in what order .

Thanks :)

start with a Power Supply before you burn your house down xD

 

like a corsair 750W or EVGA   

 

So how bad is your Case then?

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

Old Systems: A6 5200 APU -- A10 7800K + HD6670 -- FX 9370 + 2X R9 290 -- G3258 + R9 280 -- 4690K + RX480

Start with getting a better PSU with at least 80+ Gold certification. Get something from Corsair, EVGA, XFX, Superflower, Seasonic, etc with at least 650 watts. Then, try and get a better GPU. The lowest I would go considering the rest of your build is a R9 280X and the highest I would go is SLI GTX 980s.

First do some maths: How much time will you be investing in your pc (in payment periods) * (periodical payment - periodical spendings) = your budget. 

 

Assuming you want best bang for buck ASAP: 1st) PSU 2nd) GPU.

Personally i'd buy a minimum of 600W PSU Bronze certified. Because it covers most CPU/GPU combos (with your particular CPU). Keep in mind how many HDDs and Coolers want to add in future + OCability. Every HDD is 15W more and every Cooler is 5 to 6W, SSD is almost nothing. OC deppends on specific hardware.

Im think that the most intelligent think that I can do considering your opinions is to get a psu and a chasis (cuz my chasis is w/o the side plates. And I don't have any cable management there) so I wanna buy a chasis and a evga psu , I want a golden rate one (I don't know how is it writed correcly, sorry again) with 800 watts, then a want to get a 980 or Titan x (because I think that for the time I will spend working a getting the money they will be able in my country) , and then upgrade to ssd and my hdd and then more ram (upto 32 gb )

And I forget to say, I have the stock cooler, so after the gpu I want to watercool my pc with the radiator that has 2 fans, and put in the case coolers , the coolers I want are the special for pressure , I like the noctua coolers.

And I wanna say thanks you guys , you are amazing ;)
